Default RE: Deer Mgmt Heavy Clay?

Carey - Your point is well taken. Winter wheat may be a preffered food for your area, still it does little nutritionally for the overall health of a deer herd. If the point is to hunt over the plot, and never worry about it again, wheat may well be the "plot of choice" Should this be the case, I'd still recommend plant at least a mix, of other cereal grains with winter wheat - as variety is the spice of life - for deer or otherwise.

Should you want to help to increase the protein intake of your herd, I would plant a clover or legume with the grain.....for next summer, and rotate other areas for "kill plots", of cereal grains.
